First Hilltopper Game

No, we did not take Simon to Diddle Arena just yet. But, dad held Simon as they watched the Hilltoppers take on New Orleans on TV last Sunday.

Uncle David and Kelly stopped by with pizza, and Uncle David got in some good nephew time before the game. For future reference, visitors with pizza get "first hold" with Simon. Keep that in mind.
















Simon sports his WKU gear courtesy of Jimmy and Nanette Vance. I'm sure it played a role in the Toppers 73-70 triumph over New Orleans. Simon was so nervous that he had his eyes closed for nearly the entire game.

















He likes his ocean play mat while on his back (although, I'm not sure how much he can see yet)...

















But he has not enjoyed his "belly time" to this point. He can already lift his head pretty well, though. I think screaming must help develop neck muscles. He has also shown the ability to track objects with his eyes this week.

















YaYa made a visit today. She and dad watched Simon in the afternoon while mom went into town and actually interacted with other humans in faraway places like Target, Kroger, and Greenwood Mall.

















Also, Simon is 4 weeks old today! His one month milestone comes on Saturday.

More head-lifting and object-tracking updates to come.

I love the WKU picture! But one question -- does a person get to be first in line to hold Simon if she brings NUTTY BARS instead of pizza? Just curious...

I'd be pretty upset too to the point of screaming if all I could do was stare at the floor. who knows what kind of grotesque things might be standing over me!

Thank you for keeping the world posted on Simon's progress! He looks good, even if he's not into belly time. It's not enjoyable for lots of babies. He is in good company in the anti-belly club. :)
